5285 has some structural damage, so has been replaced by 5287 - which failed yesterday.

649 left as V8 20 minutes late due to a faulty dimmed light and a damaged change slot on the driver's change-holder.

In today's case, 5438 and 5439 have been allocated alongside Mercedes Citaros 5335 and 5336 (the latter replaced 5333 at around 09:30am this morning). The red Streetlites are allocated to provide a higher specification bus for passengers - they have free Wi-Fi and power sockets. |

(17 Dec 2016, 10:04 pm)BusLoverMum wrote I think the North east economy is a big factor, here. Bus fares are expensive, anyhow and most of the people taking the bus can't afford those fares on a whim, so will limit their trips. During the week, a good 80% of passengers on my local route enjoy some sort of concessionary fare, whether free OAP/Disabled fares or student fares. I'm sure that, apart from some of the core shopping routes (eg X21), that changes very little across the region. The fact shops are open until 20:00 every weekday has made a huge difference. Sunday is a very busy shopping day, these days. |

(18 Dec 2016, 5:27 pm)Michael wrote Durham Diamond ? Looks more than likely to me in my opinion, As the only brand off the top of my head with similar base colors is the Connections4 and Blue Arrow. The 2 corporate spare's bought for every batch could result in the redundancy of 5337 and 5338 at Stanley also....

It would also allow Stanley to have only Omnicities as the other long based single decker. Unless the Omnicities at Stanley are replaced next year too.

The appeal of the 9 has risen a lot for me since them Citaro's became allocated (escpecially as its a service local to my area ), So it would be great for it to become fully Citaro operated. Id say either Deptford or Riverside for them, While I believe the best place for 5337 and 38 would be Riverside regardless.

Deptford would have 1 Spare Citaro from the SIDI Sunderland, if they head to Deptford. The Blaydon Racers Citaro's are more likely to remain at Riverside, if they get new buses so i think will more likely they'll go on the Loop or Green Arrow.
